Aaron Is a graduate of Voices For All's Master Class. He graduated in 2011 and has collaborated on close to 4,000 projects in the last 10 years. Some of his clients include: WWE, Chevy, Habitat For Humanity, Ace Hardware, Amazon, Fandango and hundreds more...
Aaron decided on training after a 3 month illness that almost left him and his family homeless. 3 years after his training he quit his 20 year job as a Nabisco salesman to be a voice actor full time and he hasn't looked back. This was after YEARS of people commenting on his voice.
As a child, Aaron had a near obsession with voices. Heavily influenced in his childhood by the popular cartoons of the day, he was mesmerized by the subtle differences between the characters’ sounds and deliveries. Even as a youth, he grasped the fact that tension, joy, fear, excitement, or love could all be conveyed through the manner in which a single word was enunciated.
In college, Aaron studied computer animation and art as well as creative writing, and has a passion for all things that inspire him creatively.
Years later, with a family of his own, he found that he could keep his four young girls engaged—really engaged—while reading to them. He gave life to the words on the page and his children were able to see the stories played out in their minds.
He is enthusiastic about the voiceover industry and loves to pass that energy on to his students, with the goal of showing each and every one of them that the field has a great deal to offer. His upbeat and direct manner of instruction fosters an atmosphere of enjoyment and openness.
Aaron's family has been with him every step of the way. He has been blessed with a fantastic wife and is a proud father. In fact, his 4 daughter's were the inspiration behind his company’s name.
